Okay - under Linux, 'how do I checkout WITH \r's?' that's easy - put em in the file, check it in, and check it out... but woe to the windows user - who now get's \r\r\n's.
under windows, how to do the same? Well if I have complete control over all options, use cygwin CVS and UNIX style file endings - problem is that's an option, and I can't seem to convince everyone to use the same options. Otherwise, what I see is not what I get. If one is developing and working with both platforms, his tools better be able to work with each other's TEXT without difficulty. How can I even guarantee that the source used to build the same object on different platforms was the same? I know I see even more sign of segregation of text and binary in CVS today than in prior versions... it's really too bad that everyone knows and is comfortable with CVS... if only they had realized sooner, this mentality that 'what you checkin is NOT what you checkout' would not have been so concrete, and this ... would not be an issue. If there is no spoon...there are no bugs, and there IS no spoon. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Larry Jones" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Jim" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, November 12, 2003 7:04 AM Subject: Re: Checkout without \r's > Jim writes: > > > > That's an assumption about the file that is incorrect... it didn't start > > with \r's in it... and I need them to not be there. > > Then it's not a text file, by definition, no matter how much you think > it is. > > -Larry Jones > > Hello, local Navy recruitment office?
